Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna of Vaisey

Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna of Vaisey (Olga Alexandrovna Igor) (Russian: Великая Княжна Ольга Алекса́ндровна, IPA : [vʲɪˈlʲikəjə knʲɪˈʐna ˈolʲɡə]) (Velikaya Knyazhna Ol'ga Alexandrovna); 15 November [O.S. 3 November] 1895 – 17 July 1918) was the eldest child and the late heir apparent of the 189th Tsar of the Vaisey Empire: Victor II and his sole empress consort Alexei Alexandrovna. Married to Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich, the couple had several children and a happy marriage, which Dmitri later pinned on his wife`s easy-going nature. Her death in 1918, heavily devastated him and his children; desperate for a woman to take care of his children as his new spouse, he chose the only surviving niece of his late wife, Grand Duchess Xenia Pavlovna. His proposal was a success and the Grand Duchess agreed to the marriage [albeit reluctantly]. A letter addressed and read by Olga`s niece [Xenia], convinced her that the marriage would be in her best interest. Even before her death [during the revolutions of 1917-1918 in the Vaisey Empire], Olga had taken over complete custody of her niece and was considering available marriage prospects for her including: Alexei I of Russia, then only [Alexei Nikolaevich, Tsarevich of Russia], Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich of Russia [a brother of Nicholas II of Russia, a Tsar of Imperial Russia], Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich of Russia among other Russian royalty. Xenia rejected them all as she preferred to marry in an unequal marriage to one of her own countrymen; Olga was furious and refused to allow Xenia to do so, deciding to invite her mother`s relatives to Vaisey. Her struggles to find her niece a eligible marriage partner even ended with Olga deciding to offer her own niece to her husband, writing a letter to her niece [the letter was sealed by Olga before her death], which was later discovered in Xenia`s bedroom [underneath her pillow]. During World War I, she nursed wounded soldiers in a military hospital until her own medical problems caught up to her, and thereafter, she would oversee administrative duties at the hospital where she was stationed.

Olga's murder and subsequently the murder of her immediate relatives [excluding her children, husband and eldest niece Xenia] resulted in her maternal aunt-in-law Tatiana Feodorovna [a former princess from the Norwegian royal family] becoming the new Empress for the whole duration of the regency [due to Olga's oldest daughter being underage at the time]. In the 1990s, her remains were identified through DNA testing and were buried in a funeral ceremony at the York and Lancaster Palace in Hampshire along with those of her parents and a large majority of her immediate family members.
